surely I'd need some manner of antenna?

egg|anbo|egg: yeah but you could probably make one out of coathangers

(well, maybe not so much at centi/millimetric wavelengths)
22:07

admittedly there's a TV antenna
22:07
* UmbralRaptor
was under three impression that a home radio telescope would tend to cost RCT money, and require being seriously good with electronics.
22:07

but I guess that mostly observes french TV rather than planets
